One message keeps coming up with "unknown error" and that you can't delete
the message. I see dozens of people have the problem. What can you do to
get rid of the stupid problem?

What folder is it in?
 
If you are not happy with WM, Microsoft has offered you WLM as a free replacement.

I followed someone's instructions to delete and reenter your email account.
The stuck message stays in your outbox forever, but everything else can go
out. Every time you send an email it asks you about the old outgoing message
telling you that it doesn't have a something or other and you just say "No"
and ignore it. This solution worked for me and it took a couple of minutes
to do. I tried a whole bunch of the techy solutions on here and none worked
and some were way over my head. Thanks for the tip from someone out there!

No, I don't know that, or I would not be recommending it.
I recommend WLM because I've been using it exclusively since May 31,
with far less aggravations than when I was using WM.

So you now *like* the multiple folders? The whole concept is flawed,
and it seems that MSFT are not going to do anything about it.

No, I still don't like the multiple folders in WLM.
But on the whole, I prefer WLM at this time.
WM is just too buggy and unstable.
If WM ever gets its bugs fixed, I may go back to it.

I just got a new computer loaded with Vista the other day. Finally imported
by old e-mail folders and and started getting some really strange
results.....for example, couldn't move messages between folders, inbox
contents wouldn't appear. I disabled Macfee and evrythign appears to be
working again. I've re-enabled Macafee and we'll see what happens.

The experience of this group would suggest
that would be asking for trouble.
 
The collective wisdom of this newsgroup indicates that even a 'disabled'
McAfee can cause problems with Windows Mail.

Email scanning should be turned off in any anti-virus. Also exclude EML
files from the scan. It provides no
protection not provided by the regular resident protection.
Besides that, McAfee and Norton are not compatible with Windows Mail and
should be uninstalled.
